Written by a man who appears to be around 100+ years old, columnist Vic Deering makes a valiant attempt to stick up for famous butter goblin Paula Deen’s recent N-Word scandal. Check out some of his Aristotlean logic:

Well, I too have used the N-word on occasion. I may use it again for those youthful gangs in south Chicago who hold big communities in a state of siege - shooting innocent women, young boys and girls, babies or anyone who gets in the way of their drug-dealing activities. And I may for those tribes of people in central Africa who kill, loot and pillage their own kind, just maybe because they were born on the wrong side of a river.

Don’t worry guys! It’s okay to use the N-Word because all black people murder each other all of the time! Also, don’t peg ol’ Vic as a racist too quickly. He’s got mixed-race granddaughters he loves that he calls racial slurs too:

Now moving on. I have used the word “wop” a few times in my life, and I now have three beautiful and intelligent Italian granddaughters and am very proud of them.

I have used the words “spick” and “greaser” in the past and now have two half-Mexican great-granddaughters whom I love very much.

And to further clear his rap sheet, Vic reminds everyone that after his drunk German father sang Christmas carols in German in 1943, he got called a “kraut,” and just “take[s] it with a grain of salt.”

Oh, the plight of German Americans, truly one of this country’s most downtrodden classes.
